Moved this to the lounge since it is OT in the thread in which it appears.
Really?
Embarrassing to whom?
""I want to pay a particular tribute to Prime Minister Trudeau for his leadership and skilful chairing, which enabled us after two days of negotiation between leaders to agree actions and a shared approach on some of the most pressing challenges facing the international community and our citizens," she (Theresa May) told parliament."
"“He’s a good man, he’s done a good job and he loves the people of Canada,” Trump said."
Tell me, what do you think about Donald Trump's handling of the American economy? And what about Trudeau? What do you think of their respective handling of the NAFTA renegotiation? How's the unemployment rate where you live? How was Stephen Harper's relationship with the provincial premiers?
And you must be a young'un if you don't remember Joe Clark. He was Prime Minister for less than a year.
""His tenure was brief as he only won a minority government, and it was defeated on a
motion of non-confidence. Clark's Progressive Conservative Party lost the
1980 election and Clark lost the
leadership of the party in 1983."
Mind you, Clark rose like a phoenix to become very well respected as Foreign Affairs Minister under Mulroney and later as an elder statesman, but his ouster from office by his own party easily outshines anything Trudeau has done.
So yeah, if you graduated high school after 2010 you might have the impression he's awful, but you might want to look around at the people who would replace him if he loses; it could be a lot worse.
